Lake Stevens School District does not discriminate in any programs or activities on the basis of sex, race, creed, religion, color, national origin, age, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, disability, or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups. The following employees have been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination: Civil Rights Coordinator and Title IX Coordinator: John Balmer, (425) 335-1500, john_balmer@lkstevens.wednet.edu; and Section 504 Coordinator: Jeff Jorgensen, (425) 335-1500, jeff_jorgensen@lkstevens.wednet.edu. Address: 12309 22nd St. NE, Lake Stevens, WA 98258.

The District believes in fostering an educational environment that is safe and free from discrimination for all students, regardless of gender expression, gender identity or sex. The District also encourages the use of preferred names and pronouns for all students. We will use the student information system, Skyward, to keep this information. Official documents such as transcripts or state assessments, will reflect the legal name and gender along with the preferred name. Unofficial documents such as identification cards, yearbooks and school programs may reflect the preferred name only.

All publications produced by Lake Stevens School District, including those produced at each school will strive to publish the name and gender identity that students prefer. However, each publication has a deadline in which changes cannot be made. If the student has implemented a name or gender identity change before a publication deadline, we will do our best to use their identified information. If we are unable to make changes due to publication deadlines, we will notify the affected students and their family.
